Police locate car stolen in Montco jeweler's kidnapping

EAST NORRITON (AP) — Residents have helped police find the stolen car authorities say was used in the kidnapping and robbery of a Montgomery County jeweler.

WPVI-TV reports (http://bit.ly/UuV0UO) neighbors spotted the Volkswagen Passat parked near their homes in East Norriton since Thursday. Police hope it may contain evidence that will lead them to four suspects who kidnapped the jeweler from his home and robbed his jewelry store, Shuler’s Jewelers, on Jan. 31.

Investigators say the suspects accosted the man in the driveway of his home, tied him and his wife up with duct tape, ransacked his home and drove him to the jewelry store in his car. Police say he was then forced to open two safes and the thieves got off with $1.5 million in jewelry. The victim wasn’t hurt.
